I’m going to show you how fast you can diagnose problems within your trailer lights, vehicle and literally any electrical circuit. I’m in love with this tool. The speed at which you can diagnose problems within circuits is outstanding.

You will see that many of the tips and procedures used are universal for skill sets «every mechanic should know» and that the biggest value to my videos is the teaching of these skills that are not found in a service manual.
I often get asked this question:
Q: How does one learn these skill sets «every mechanic should know» if they are not found in a manual?
A: NUMBER 1…..GET DIRTY and start wrenching.
-Ask questions
-Find a seasoned craftsman to mentor under
-Tech schools can significantly speed this time up
-Research, read, watch YouTube videos
Tip: You will never learn it all from one source or in a short time period. No matter what craft you are trying to master, YOU must be dedicated and put the time in. THERE IS NO BETTER WAY TO LEARN THAN DOING! I will say it again, you must actually do the work to master it. You cannot just watch or read about it and master anything.
You want to be a master bike builder, mechanic, welder, nurse, carpenter or you fill in the blank?
-Don’t take for granted opportunities to learn deeper
-Be humble and seek advice
-Be intentional with your learning plan
-Don’t blame a school, job or your parents for not giving you ever answer, go get it!
I teach a motorcycle/powersports technician program at Western Iowa Tech Community College in Sioux City, Iowa. These videos are used for review of labs for students and creating a deeper understanding of the lesson/skill set. As there is often more than one way of doing something, may you enjoy this free information as much as our students do in person. PLEASE HIRE OUR GRADUATES!
If you would like more info on the program feel free to contact me @ 712-274-8733 ext 1204 or email shane.conley@witcc.edu

Okay I like the Probe product would like to add to my arsenal, can you share some details as to who sells it and what it costs? Keep up the great work enjoy them all. Regarding those trailer light kits, I often find the tabs that the wires are supposed to connect with the bulb bases, often bend away from the darn bulb. Then you can apply power, have no light operating but you tap the housing and you have intermittent light. I just drop a bit of solder on the point the bulb makes contact. Last time I replaced my trailer wiring I used 3/8 plastic wiring flex conduit from Radio Shack to cover wiring from center up inside the tongue. I have critters who like to live in the tongue and chew on those wires.
I've had a Powerprobe for a few years, and it's one of my favourite tools. It's simple, very easy to understand, and it frees the mind to concentrate on the problem at hand. Of course there is work to do if you want to do more complex testing like drop testing or if you think flow may be reversed because of a bad ground somewhere. But I'll pick the more simple tool in the name of better understanding of what the tool is doing.
I have a very similar trailer to this and when I turn my vehicle right turn signal on both of my trailer lights will flash instead of just the right side. What would cause this?

How to diagnose and FIX trailer light issues FAST! 13 minutes?????
my truck plug is only reading a little over 10 volts and not the 12 to light the trailer lights I'm told it's supposed to have.is there supposed to be a battery in the camper I'm trying to tow it should my plug power the tow
lights itself.I get no lights at all when I plug in but three trailer lights work with a battery
What if you're not getting no power to the brake lights and turn signal, but the side markers work fine?
Is there a website for the Power probe?
So much for FAST!
33 hands down? What's that about? Another great one by Shane! I had the same problem Shane! You fixed it! if anybody buys a trailer like that but with a wood floor, I highly suggest you stain it with Baer stain. Great stuff & will make the wood last twice as long. Do it before the bolts rust. Take the boards out & stain them top & bottom! I waited too late!
